The Healthy Expectations program consists of six (6) separate sessions. Each session will include important information and introduce you to skills to help you have a healthy pregnancy, delivery, and a happy, healthy baby.
In this session we will cover foundational nutrition, nutrition needs in pregnancy for macro- and micro-nutrients, and supplements.
You will learn:

• The optimal amounts of specific macro- and micro-nutrients needed during pregnancy
• How to identify quality sources of essential nutrients needed during pregnancy

During our time together, we will focus on the four pillars of health: Lifestyle, Exercise, Attitude, and Nutrition. Lifestyle is how we live. It includes how we spend our time, including work, relaxation, and sleep. Exercise is how we move. It's about being physically active, which is vital for physical and mental health. Attitude is how we think. It’s about keeping our minds healthy and maintaining a positive outlook. And Nutrition is how we eat. It focuses on the body's intake of nutrients to foster optimal health.
